Bad, bad idea.
Unlike the Marxist and 3rd World dictators we have no need to display our military prowess in a martial parade.

I'm with you: a good old-fashioned military parade on the 4th of July would be outstanding.
On another note, why have we got all these service-avoiding/draft-dodging types on the Free Republic?

The USA runs Trillion dollar trade deficits annually just like the the third world because of Free Traitor™ globalists so why not a parade? You globalists can KMA.

It’s a propaganda stunt
Yes, and it will drive the Left absolutely frickin bonkers.

Military parades are not part of American tradition. The thought reminds me of the USSR, China and North Korea’s Military parades that I have seen on TV. Communist parades, displaying missile bombs on trailers. Not appealing.

Initially, my reaction was negative.
But then I started thinking: maybe this is a Trump gambit to bring Kim Jung Un to a shared reality with the rest of the world.
A grand US military parade might jolt him into an understanding about how quickly we could annihilate both him and his country.
Just my $0.02

This is NOT a bad idea.
It is long overdue.
Can yo imagine a DEMOCRAT ever wanting to do such a thing?
Carter?
Clinton?
Obastard?

A number of 1st World countries do something rather similar. You should see the Fleet Reviews of the UK and the Commonwealth.
We're trying to emulate those socialist nightmares now?

I can imagine doing it except they would prefer to be using enemy troops or blue helmets.

You do understand that the Fleet Review is a tradition that predates the current political climate in the UK.
